The Indiana Pacers had no trouble with the Brooklyn Nets despite not having Paul George or C.J. Miles in the lineup.
The Good: The Indiana Pacers played a complete game and were able to do it without their star player in Paul George. Glenn Robinson III played with a ton of confidence, which is huge because he’ll be playing a lot of minutes for Indiana over the next week or so without PG.
Once again, balanced scoring for the Pacers. One more positive from tonight was the fact that the Pacers out-rebounded by the Nets by 9. They’ve been struggling in that department.
The Bad: During the game, we found out that Paul George and Kevin Seraphin will miss the next three games (including tonight) due to their injuries. They’re already short-handed, so it’s not good to see the injury report continue to get longer.
MVP: Glenn Robinson III. Glenn dropped a career-high 20 points and made 4 three-pointers. He played with a lot of confidence and his shot making was a nice boost for the Pacers. The Pacers are going to need more of this moving forward.

LVP: Justin Hamilton. Hamilton usually plays a great role for the Nets and is always a tough cover for opposing bigs due to his three-point shooting. Tonight, he was held scoreless in 16 minutes.
X-Factor: Rodney Stuckey. Stuckey, coming off a cold night on Wednesday, was on fire for the Pacers off the bench. Stuck scored 18 points on 7 of 10 shooting. His offense was needed and it got the second unit as a whole playing well. The Pacers need this Rodney Stuckey every night.
